It’s been nearly a year since Angelina Jolie dropped the bombshell that she and Brad Pitt were parting ways. Since then, she’s been incredibly private about her personal life. But in a new interview to promote her latest film, First They Killed My Father, the mother of six opened up about the challenges of being single after such a high-profile relationship.
“It’s been tough. I never thought I’d be single, and I don’t enjoy it,” Angelina told the Sunday Telegraph. “This isn’t something I ever wanted. There’s really nothing good about it. It’s just plain hard. Sometimes, people might think I’ve got everything under control, but honestly, I’m just trying to get through each day.” Her candid words reveal the raw emotions that come with such a major life change, showing a side of her that fans don’t often see.

Earlier this month, In Touch reported that Brad Pitt, now 42, reached out to his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston with an apology. Sources say the conversation was deeply personal, marking a new level of understanding between the two. "[Brad] was determined to make amends for all the pain he caused her, and that’s exactly what he did," a source explained. "It was the most intimate conversation Brad and Jen have ever had." When Brad finally expressed his regrets, "Jen was overwhelmed with emotion. All the hurt and resentment she had buried for years came rushing back, and she couldn’t help but break down in tears," the source added.
What Did Brad Apologize For?
The source went on to explain the depth of Brad’s apology, saying, "He admitted to being an absentee husband, often stoned and disengaged during their marriage. He also took responsibility for leaving her for Angelina." While the source notes that Jennifer still harbors resentment towards Angelina, Brad’s heartfelt apology has opened a new chapter in their relationship. "They’ve connected on a level they thought was impossible before," the source revealed.
Angelina’s Future Plans: Back to Work?
As fans wonder when Angelina might start dating again, it seems her focus is currently on her career. During a Q&A session for her film, she shared her desire to return to directing and acting. "Right now, I don’t have any projects I feel as passionate about as First They Killed My Father," she said. "So, I’ll focus on acting for a while. I’ve taken over a year off to prioritize my kids, and when the time feels right, I’ll return to work." Her words emphasize her dedication to balancing her professional ambitions with her family responsibilities.
“I’ve been needed at home,” Angelina continued. “But when the time comes, I’ll be ready to dive back into my career. For now, I’m content knowing my kids are my priority.” Her commitment to her family is clear, and it shows in the choices she’s making as she navigates this new chapter of her life.
